I know, this is Actually Infuriating, but ... Also she didn't just leave the now-dead kid in the car, she left two in there to die, but one survived. My guess: with brain damage. "Always Beautiful Medical Spa" FFS. Duck lips were totally worth it.

A baby died after his mother left him and his 2-year-old sibling inside a car while she was getting lip filler at a Bakersfield medical spa on a 101-degree day, authorities said.

It is estimated that Hernandez’s children were in the vehicle without air-conditioning for 90 minutes, wrote Det. Kyle McNabb, noting that the internal temperature of a car can rise to a blistering 143 degrees in just one hour of 100-degree weather.

Hernandez told police she found her baby foaming at the mouth and having an apparent seizure after emerging from her procedure at Always Beautiful Medical Spa, according to the police report. She frantically dialed 911, and both her children were transported to a hospital for treatment.

By the time her 1-year-old arrived at Adventist Health hospital, he wasn’t breathing, had no pulse, his lips were blue, and he had an internal body temperature of 107.2 degrees

Nature is healing. We don't need every brain dead genetic abomination reproducing to make more brain dead abominations. Let Darwinism take its course. That's what trumps mom should've done with captain bonespurs.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 minutes ago

I have bad news for you about how much nature cares about being smart or a good parent

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I don't understand how someone makes the logical leaps they do in these kinds of cases. Even from a purely selfish stand point, the risk of exactly what happened and the fallout are just not worth it to make that appointment right then and there or just have the kids sit in the lobby.

I must be losing my grip on reality, trying to reason why someone that thinks this way does the things they do.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago

Your first sentence, you assumed logical. The average person is dumb. Straight up stupid.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 hours ago

Of course it was Bakersfield.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

I can barely handle being in a car that has been sitting in the sun for the 5 minutes it takes for the AC to get up to speed.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

Now the 20-year-old mother has been charged with one felony count of involuntary manslaughter and two felony counts of willful cruelty to a child, according to court records.

Is it not a specific crime in California/US to leave a child locked in a car?? We don't fluff around with that in Australia. Also have exceptions to property damage laws for bystanders breaking windows.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Initial charges are just to justify holding a person, more charges can always be added later when the prosecutor has taken more time to examine the case.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

If leaving a child in a car was a crime, you'd think they'd charge that up front?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

Most criminal laws are at the state level so it would be a CA law.

UNATTENDED CHILD IN MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY ACT

There is no need for a seperate law in the event of harm or death since that would just fall under existing harm/death of a child laws.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

She has pleaded not guilty to all charges and is being held in a hot car with no AC in lieu of $1,080,000 bail, according to the Kern County district attorney’s office.

Was it leavitt? Yea, no cumuppance will happen there

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

Unfortunately this is a pretty common occurrence. There was a big furor about it about a decade ago with a social media fad called the "hot car challenge" where adults would sit in hot cars turned off in the sun to see how long they could last in them ostensibly to build awareness of the problem, and there were all sorts of helpful tips and design changes made to cars and phones to try to make it more difficult to forget your kids in hot cars. Myself I wonder if any of it had any actual impact because surely the sort of people who leave their kids in hot cars aren't the smartest and probably don't keep up with safety PSAs about the issue.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Plenty of smart parents fuck up while sleep deprived. That’s what made it such a popular tragedy to make PSAs about.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

After having kids I totally understand how it can happen by mistake.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

As a parent myself, I'm now doubly amazed at how few cases of forgetting happen. It's so easy to do, and your brain is reduced to blomonge by sleep deprivation.

FYI, the "baby on board" signs aren't generally meant as "don't crash into me" signs, but "assume the driver is drunk and distracted" signs. Having been there, I try and give them plenty of space!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (1 children)

The left shoe trick - throwing my shoe in the car next to the kid - probably saved my kid's life more than once.

One kind of parents who have these tragedies are tired ones. Which is most parents with small children.

Edit: not relevant in this case, but I'll take any chance to advertise the shoe trick.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

As a parent myself it always boggles my mind that people can forget that they have kids in the car with them. I'm always in dad mode when I have any kids with me, so I've never even come close to forgetting a kid in the car. Forgetting to grab the kid's backpack for school sure, but forgetting a whole child in the car?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

It depends how often you drive without the kids.

If you don't always drop the kids off yourself, it's easy to get half way to work on autopilot before realising you meant to drop them off.

Sleep deprivation is a weird thing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

I felt the same, until I had my first lousy sleeper (child who had trouble sleeping due to minor health stuff). After a month of lost sleep, I couldn't remember my own name sometimes. I read once that sleep deprivation is effectively brain damage, and after that experience, I believe it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

it must be on purpose at this point. how many times does this need to happen before people stop doing it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

Are you under the impression that every hot car death is caused by the same person?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Is this mildly infuriating? No. This is a joke comm, not a group cry.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

grrr, im so mildly infuriated rn

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 hours ago

Almost anyone can have children, but not everyone can be a parent.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (1 children)

One of my more controversial views is that having children should require a permit, like adoption currently requires, you'd need proof that you are able and willing to raise a child in the environment they deserve to be raised in.

Yes I realize what the downsides would be.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

I've seen that as a bit by a comedian before as well.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 13 hours ago

Bakersfield is a conservative shit show

[–] [email protected] 10 points 13 hours ago

Getting lip fillers…the kind of people who should not have children
